What two numbers multiply to -314 and add up to 313?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -314 and add up to 313?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 314

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 314 multiply to -314 and add up to 313:

-1 × 314 = -314
-1 + 314 = 313

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 313x - 314 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x - 1 ) (x + 314)

To summarize, since -1 and 314 multiply to -314 and add up 313, you know that the following is true:

x² + 313x - 314 = (x - 1 ) (x + 314)
